Homework Statement


I'm trying to create a program which models fluids using the finite difference method

Homework Equations


This is what I'm looking for:)

The Attempt at a Solution



I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I guess at first I'll just simulate incompressible fluids and then maybe move to compressible fluids. I'm not sure whether to use finite difference or finite volume methods. Would finite volume would be better suited to simulate incompressible fluids and finite difference would be better for compressible?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

I ASK WHICH IN THIS DAYS THE BEST way to solve the problems in fluids dynamic ,about numerical methods?
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
